2001 Special Edition & 2002 40th Anniversary Grand Prix's
T
The reason for this car over the Grand Am is because I trust the 3.8 engine
more than the 3.4
Near where I live is a 2002 40th Anniversary Edition GTP model. I believe
the car is greatly over priced since it is about $6,000 more than the
regular GTP's on the market. It is in very good condition though, but
doesn't that seem like a lot more for that option?. That option was only
worth about $3,500 when the car was new, was it not?
I really wanted to find a GT model and not have to worry about the extra
fuel expense with a GTP and also less repairs down the road if I didn't have
the supercharger, but those 2 doors are hard to come by in a GT model. I
did go look at a 2001 Special Edition GT but it was sadly driven into the
ground and was in bad shape from one end to the other. Who would think such
a new car could be treated so badly?
I like the looks of these (Special Edition / 40th Anniversary) models
because they look a little different than all those other Grand Prix's on
the road.
Here are my questions for anyone that owns a 2001 Special Edition or 2002
40th Anniversary model or the others that are in the 'know' and have the
info.
1. What are your feelings between the GT and GTP models? Any repairs that
stand out over one or the other.
2. Why did the 40th Anniversary model not come with the Bose sound system?
I see it was an option not allowed to be picked. How do you find the sound
system that did come with the car? How many speakers with this model? I
think it is 6.
Was there more than one choice of CD players that GM offered with this 40th
Anniversary model?
3. Was the 2001 Special Edition able to come with a Bose sound system? Did
it have more than one CD player option to choose from?
4. What are the production numbers for the 2002 40th Anniversary Grand
Prix's?
I believe there were just over 4,600 of the Special Editions made. Anyone
know if this is correct?
5. How do you find the leather is wearing in the car? Does it seem to be
standing up well?
I can't think of any other questions right now, but if you own one of these
cars or know some info about them, please do share. It would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks

Consumer Guide 2002 Buying Guide
lists the 40th Anni package at $2695 and includes a two tone leather
interior, black raised roof strips, hood duct, unique spoiler, chrome
alloy wheel, special badging and exhaust tips.
Package was available on the GT or GTP.
It says Bose was optioal on the GTP but not with the 40th Anniversary
package.
My guess that the Bose wasn't available was because of the two tone
interior color. If there were extra speakers for the Bose higher up near
top of the door, they probably didn't want to make Maroon colored
speaker grilles. Or maybe to keep the price of the car down Pontiac
didn't offer the more expensive $395 radio.

difference in driving excitement!!!
Superchargers dont go bad unless the oil runs completely out. No
biggie really, at every oil change you just remove the very easy to
reach supercharger oil fill plug and look at the level, if its not
where it should be you squirt some in there, and your'e done.
Don't beef about the extra fuel expense, it isn't really that much and
you get used to it real quick. I get roughly 20 MPG and i drive it
like i stole it everyday which equates to about $12 a month more for
premium instead of regular gas. So you have to give up McDonalds twice
a month if your'e that strapped for cash. Such a shame.
Do it and get on driving! ;)
